    Tipton cleaning rod issues

    Re: Tipton cleaning rod issues I have 5 tipton rods, they're all I use. I just checked them and you can definitely find a small bow on the long ones (44"). But the short ones (26") have almost none. Like I said they're all I use and have been using for maybe 2 years. I've had no problems with...

    Reloder-17, my 260 and QuickLoad

    Re: Reloder-17, my 260 and QuickLoad Yeah I guess it's been added recently. I forgot to mention I'm running a 26" rock 1:8 barrel.

    Reloder-17, my 260 and QuickLoad

    I've been reloading .223 and .308 for a while now. Recently I built a 260 and have just finished break in and a ladder test. I've also recently purchased QuickLoad so I'm trying to incorporate it into my reloading procedures. My problem is that QuickLoad is giving me wildly different...

    Re: J.S.T. 12 June 2010 match!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks John. What about the pistol question? Should I plan on carrying my pistol on me all day or are the pistol stage(s) separate?

    Opinions wanted on RCBS ChargeMaster Combo

    Re: Opinions wanted on RCBS ChargeMaster Combo I can only speak for myself. I've had one for about a year and I'd never go back to powder thrower, beam scale, etc. I've had no problems with mine and I use it probably 2-3 times per week. I use a combo of powders (i.e. H4350, RamShot TAC, R-17)...

    J.S.T. 12 June 2010 match!!!!!!!!!!!

    Re: J.S.T. 12 June 2010 match!!!!!!!!!!! John, I'm looking forward to the match. In prepping my gear I have a couple questions: 1. Do most competitors carry their pistol on them (holstered) or are the pistol stages separate from the rifle? 2. You say competitors must have 20 rounds of...

    Re: my new 260 rem just for digs Similar ballistics to a 300WM with less recoil then a 308.

    Rifle Scopes Elcan 1-4 v. NF 1-4 v. Aimpoint??

    Re: Elcan 1-4 v. NF 1-4 v. Aimpoint?? NF 1-4 with the FC-2 reticle. I use an Aimpoint T-1 on my SBRs, but for what you're describing, the NF would be my recommendation.

    Rifle Scopes spotting scope recomendation

    Re: spotting scope recomendation I've got the Leupold Mk4 with TMR reticle. You have to go way up in price to find better clarity. Seriously, friends with Kowa, Swaro, Leica, etc., have looked through it and said "wow". But the thing I really love about it compared to others is the eye relief...

    TAC in 308

    Re: TAC in 308 I've been shooting it for a year now in my 700 (26" 1:12 twist) and am very happy with it. My goal was to duplicate Federal GMM 175 and this is where I ended up: 175 SMK 42.8 grains TAC Lapua brass CCI BR2 OAL 2.79 I get 2650 fps and same dope as the Federal.

    LMT .308 MWS

    Re: LMT .308 MWS MidwestPX - does the fact that the bottom plate is pinned mean it can't be removed for cleaning?

    Rifle Scopes Tripod Suggestions for Leupold Mil. Spotter

    Re: Tripod Suggestions for Leupold Mil. Spotter I have the same spotting scope and use the Slik Sprint Mini. I like it because it covers prone up to sitting/kneeling/squatting height. I also replaced the ball head with the Manfrotto 484RC2 head so I had quick disconnect. It uses the same QD...

    Ideal rate of twist for .260 rem?

    Re: Ideal rate of twist for .260 rem? Slightly better than 300 WM with a lot less recoil.

    Thoughts on the LMT .308

    Re: Thoughts on the LMT .308 I also handled one at SHOT, a few times as I kept going back. :-) And I ordered one when I got home. The lower is very similar to the KAC with an ambi selector and mag release. And two different reps there said the next-in-queue barrel was a match stainless in...
